Tartansailboat,
Shawn Stanley has a pic in post #15; if you look at his throttle cable there is a black piece of plastic on it. Look just below and slightly rearward of that little black piece and you will see an adjustment screw with a spring on it. That is the adjustment for your mixture.
Screw it in all the way the back it off 1 and 1/4 turns. Start the engine and let it warm up a bit. Try to smell the rich running engine. Back the screw off about 1/4 turn at a time until you don't smell it anymore....once or twice might do it.
After that you will want to ensure the engine starts well COLD with choke then stays running when you push the choke cable back in. This might take trial and error but you will get it set up. Just use some caution not to back that screw out all the way initially.
Hope that helps. ...by the way, just by looking at the plugs you are using I don't see them being "hot" running plugs. The hotter running plugs have a larger base. Your carb adjustment might be fine if you don't smell the richness... Hotter running plugs are capable of burning more in the combustion chamber as the plug fires....
To start a thread you click on a subject....ie "troubleshooting" and up in the corner will be a tab for "start a new thread"
